Well far as the clutch go. Thats price is way to high. I did the same thing and went to shop that was over charging me so I told them hell know. If ur work on car somewat it can be done urself. I look at a couple vids and youtube and view ls1 howto and they both were very good. I did mine by my self with no help and finished it n a days time. I recommend have a buddy cause that tranny is a pain to lift by urself. But good luck
You're confusing.
Your initial post is completely different to this post.
If you want to throw in a cam do the proper supporting mods first (longtubes, underdrive pulley, LS6 or FAST intake, Flycutting etc...) If not the cam swap will not be worth while.
IF you are serious about getting to 700whp depends how you want to go about doing that. Supercharger, nitrous, turbocharger.
I think you should spend a bit more time doing research before you do any more mods. Not to offend you in any way but you seem un educated on whats what with these cars and what it takes to do certain things.

Yeah im a little new to the whole moddifying cars. This is my first LS1 so im trying to learn whats what by asking questions. As far as my hp goals i know they are high but someone above asked what my goals were so i stated my goals. And i plan on using nitrous because i would rather have a car thats like 400-500hp normally then around 700 when i spray. Im sorry if im asking dumb questions but hey i gotta learn somehow. And i also know these goals dont happen over night.

I dont plan on even attempting to put 700hp on stock internals. As of tonight i will probably have to rebuild it. Basically im researching all the parts and components ill need before i buy anything.
op i have a trex in the ls1 on my stand,stock gm 51 gaskets,56cc heads and pistons fly cut .1 int/exh..im right over 11.6-1 comp an thats in n2o trim an pump gas friendly still..i can actually get away with about 12.5-1 comp an still run it on pump..would only do about 12-1 though if i wasnt going to spray..car is 2700#,3.73s,th350,28s/275s,4500 stall.you def want all the supporting mods.
if you get the trex def fly cut the pistons some..i actually should sell mine and go back to bsing with martin and look back at a cam i actually had designed for myself..im a carb setup with a super vic intake and my heads are fully worked 243s..martin can spec u a nice cam at a good price..if your dead set on a trex cam..u can also just order it from comp..it uses xer lobes 242/248 and its a 110 lobe,108 icl,112 ecl an the real lift is .610-.615,not the .608/.612 they have listed..
edit..just finshed reading the thread..op have a custom cam done..or see if camcam has the cam that he was just using before he swapped..your going to want a cam designed for n2o really if your looking for 700rwhp on juice..you could get away with one not speced for n2o if your already making 500rwhp but u would be better to give up some in the n/a world to gain some more with spray and have it be more friendly..
